About LGBTQIA+ Entrepreneurship Incubation
This programme supports LGBTQIA+ founders, and the foundation describes it as one of India's earliest dedicated incubation programmes for them. Across two cohorts it supported 14 entrepreneurs. Both cohorts are described in the past tense and no current intake is announced, so treat it as between cohorts until the foundation says otherwise. It also says it is extending this work to entrepreneurs with disabilities and to innovators building for persons with disabilities.
